Spring has sprung for me....

Harryshoe, Hope this will help you see spring?

[harryshoe]

Its nice to see some current growth. I'll have to settle on last year's greenery and dream...

We are thinking spring right along with you

Seems like a lot of people have warmer than usual weather for this time of year. I know a lot of customers have been calling and emailing to try and get me to ship sooner and it looks like that will happen with this warm weather. We can almost start digging though it is too muddy to navigate the hills at the moment, but maybe next week or early the next! That is about 3 weeks sooner than normal.

Hopefully this doesn't mean we will start seeing hostas out of the ground any time soon, though. You know we will get hit with frosts in April or May still, so lets just look at Pieter's and karma's and last summer's pictures for now

My Magnolia Tree flowers opened today - about 3 weeks early.

Daffodils, Ditch Lilies, and Chipmunks are waking up here.

Cheers to Spring !

Definitely spring-like here this week. And the weather looks perfect for tomorrow, so I can execute the annual burning of the meadow.

Hosta babies are growing in the basement, snowdrops and tommies blooming outside... we're around the bend!

A really nasty thunderstorm came through around midnight. Hail came with it. And now the wind is hallowing out there. What happened to "March comes in like a loin and goes out like a lamb". This April is starting out rough for my hosta.

[redcrx]

A little damage from the hail but now winter is back for a few days.
